Old enough that you assumed nobody wanted it.
S10, S10e, S10+, S20 and the rest of the drawer. Working or not, the courier is free.
This is the page for the phone you have already mentally written off. An S10 in a bedside drawer, an S20 that has been a spare since 2023, something you kept because throwing away a working phone felt wrong.
The price on these is genuinely small, and we would rather say that plainly than dress it up. What makes it worth doing anyway is that it costs you nothing to find out and nothing to send: the calculator takes a minute, the courier is free, and the alternative is a phone that keeps losing the little value it has left.
There is also a version of this where the answer is no. If it is a family phone somebody actually uses, keep it. This page is for the ones nobody uses.

If you are upgrading, you are not selling. You are part-paying.
If this is your only phone rather than a spare, almost any Galaxy from the last three years is a large jump. The screen and the battery alone will feel like a different category of device.
Take the payout as EpicDeals.co.za credit instead of cash and we add 12% on top. That is us paying you for not needing the money in your account today, and it costs you nothing if you were going to spend it here anyway.
The 12% is only worth taking if you were going to spend it. If you need the cash, take the cash, and we will not make the voucher hard to refuse.
What affects your offer.
Whether it powers on and holds a charge
At this age this is most of the value. A working old Galaxy has a buyer who needs a phone. A dead one has parts, which is a much smaller amount.
Whether it is locked to an account
The most common problem with an old phone is that nobody remembers the password. A phone still locked to a Samsung or Google account cannot be reset or resold by anyone, so we cannot buy it at any price. Sort that out first.
Battery, which will be poor
Six or seven years of charging. It is not a surprise and it is not held against you.
Screen condition and burn-in
Expect burn-in on anything this old that was used daily. Check on a white background before describing it.
We still buy it with these.
Choose the closest condition in the calculator and mention anything that is wrong. Your offer already takes it into account.
- Cracked or shattered screen, front or back glass
- Burn-in or a green line down the AMOLED panel
- A battery that swells, dies at 30% or will not hold a day
- Fingerprint sensor under the screen that has stopped reading
- USB-C port that only charges if you hold the cable just so
- Camera with dust, haze or a rattling stabiliser
- Charging port worn, loose or full of pocket lint
- Will not switch on at all
